The testimony of Mr. R.

tralia, -who was cured by Ayer's
Sarsaparilla, is liko unto that of
many thousands of others. He
writes :
"It is with very much plcaauro
that I testify to the great benefit I
received from using your wonderful
blood-purifier. I was n sufferer for.
years from indigestion, loss of
strength and appetite, and constipa

bo thoroughly out of order. Africnd
finally told me to tnko Ayer's Sarsa
parilla. I followed his advice, though
feeling discouraged nt the fruitless
results of other treatment, and I am
thankful to stato that a few bottles
completely cured me."

DEFENSE OF RECIPROCITY
amendment to tariff bim, by
senator davis.
Drllcr Tlmt the United Ntntea Would
Not Allow Jnimll to In
timidate Hawaii.
Washington, Juno 1. Hawai
ian matters came to the front iu
both houses today. (Senator
Davis, chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee, introduced
an amendment to the tariff bill
which provides that nothing in the
bill shall be construed as abroga
ting the reciprocity tieaty.
In the House of Representatives
King of Utah introduced a resolu
tion which recites that the condi
tions in Ouba and Hawaii are ap
proaching such a, condition that
action may bo neco3sary at
any moment and calling for tho
appointment of a Foreign Rela
tions Committee. This is duo to
the publication of tho latest news
from Hawaii sotting forth the
strainod relations between
that country and Japan.
The Finance Committee of tho
Senate hns not framed its substi
tute for the reciprocity clauBO in
the Dingley bill, but it will pro
vide for tho continuance of the
treaty for one year with a provi
sion for an amendment at that
timo which shall givo to tho isl
and growers from 30 to 50 per
cent protection.
New York, Juno 1. A special
to the Telegram from Washington
says: Hawaii's refusal to comply
with Japan's demands in the im
migration matter is the talk of
diplomatic circles today. The
declaration of the. Japanese Min
ister to Hawaii to the effect that
if Hawaii holds to her position
he- will withdraw from the
islarfds and. his remark that "then
there can be but one result, which
you can determine yourself," is
taken here to mean, if the Min
ister spoke advisedly, that Japan
will proceed to thrash Hawaii into
compliance.
It is declared in official circles
that President McEiuley will soe
to it that neither Japan nor any
other foreign power outs up any
didos on the Pacific group of isl
ands, which he expects to see rest
ing undor tho Stars and Stripes
before tho end of his torm. No
body need be surprised if in the
meantime a few additional United
States war ships should "just
drop anchor off Honolulu to fix
their machinery" and bo unable to
get away until the trouble blowa
over.

of resort. Mr. Jones says tho
tariff is almost the sole topio of
conversation in California, the
State being vitally interested in
tho bills now before Congress.
There is littlo discussion on an
nexation. The latest news from
Washington that we heard before
the steamer left was that the sugar
schedule was to have been brought
up that same morning in the Sen

DROWNED WHILE FISHING
JAPANESE LOST IX THE NCRF '
OPP DIAMOND HEAD. I
Another Haa a Narrow Escape Prom I
tho Name Fate Hut la
Reteued by a Native.
About 9:30 last evoning-Tokaor
ka, a Japaneso steward in tho
employ of Judge Wilcox, and an
other of his countrymen wont
fishing with a number of natives
off the beach iu front of the
Wilcox and Dolo premises near
Diamond Head. The water iB
generally smooth thoro and not
over three feot deep and tho fish
ing is nearly always good. It
was not so last night, and tho
natives sucoested poiuc farther
round th,e point. They did so,
wading" out boyond tho lighthouse.
Horo tho surf was breakmg badly
at times but the two Japaueso
thought thoy could vouturo as far
as tho natives. Soon a succession
of heavy breakers camo along and
tho two Japaueso lost thoir
footing and were swept
under. Two of tho natives
wont to their assistance
and got hold of them, but another
wave camo along and turned tho
wholo party over and ovor. The
native who had Takaoka in hand
last his hold on him and for a
time had all ho could do to save
himself, as the water had washed
his shirt over his head and ho had
bard work to disontanglo himself.
When ho did so he looked round
for the Japanese but could not seo
him. Tho other native was a
powerful man and strong swim
mer and suoceeded in getting the
other Japanese into shallow water
in a half drowned condition.
Some of the party continued to
search for' Takaoka whilo others
went ashore and gave the alarm.
Judge Wilcox and a number of
others put off in canoes and
searched for the body until 2:30
a. m. when the moon went down
and the search had to be given up.
This morning at daylight it was
resumed and in a fow minutes tho
body was fouud near the place
whore the Japaueso was lost.
J ndgo Wilcox came into town with
a number of tho witnosses and
reported tho circumstances to the
Marshal, who deoided that an in
quest was unnecessary.
The drowned man had beon in
the omnloy of Judge Wilcox for
nine yoars and was a steady, sober
and industrious man. He leaves
a wife and two children who are
being cared for by Judge and Mrs.
Wilcox.

BURIAL OF R W MEYER

Funeral Party li.v Simmer lo .lloloknl

Iloiiir.lrinl.
At 8:20 o'clook Sunday evening
the lutet-Ir-lund Steam Naviga
tion Company's steamer Waialeale
left Pacific Mail wharf with the
funeral party attending the body
of the lato Rudolph W. Meyer.
Mr. Piukard, purser of the vessel,
furnishes tho following list of
those forming tho party: Mrs R
W Moyer, Mr ami Mrs O S Meyer
and four children, Mr and Mrs W
Mutch and five children, with
three servants, Mr and Mrs H II
Hitchcock aud throe children, H
P Moyer, W A Meyer, R W Mey

sha, Ohas LucaB, Mrs J Lucas,
Geo Carapboll, E V Dunn, G L
Edwards, Mrs Goo Lucas, Master
J Lucas, A Uiibaw, Jules Dudoit,
D Logan and Toma Abey.
Aftor a rough passage acroot
tho channol Kannakakai, on tho
north side of Molokai, was reach
ed at 0:45 Monday morning, and
Captain Gregory anchorod tho
Waialcalo in tho small lagoon. It
being low wator, thoro was a good
doal of trouble in landing tho pas
sengers. The ship's boats took a
few at a timo to shoal wator, where
they wore transferred to a fiat
bottom scow. This was propelled
toward shore un,til tho wator got
too shallow for evon it, and then
tho passengers were again shifted
into a pant of lighter draught
than the scow. Thia vessel was
dragged till it got out of water in
to the beaoh ooze and then for
many yards through this material.
Finally the women and childron
were carried to tho dry sand, the
men footing it over tho sloppy,
sand intervening.
A telephone message, from tho
landing at once apprised tbo mem
bers of the family at Kalae of the
sad occasion. Otto Meyer took
horso and went up the mountain
to tbo homestead, by the trail of
six milos, in about half an hour.
It is ordinarily a journey of an
hour and a half, oven with brisk
cantering on sovoral smooth
stretches. Mr. Moyer sent baok
mounts for tho party. A buggy
had been brought from town to
convoy the widow, and an express
wagon to carry the body , these vehi
olos going by the road of ten miles
in leneth. Tbo carriages and bag
gage were freighted from the ship's
boats over the reef to shore in a pon
derous wain drawn by seven yoke
of oxen. Stalwart natives carried
the coffin.
All of the party were reunited,
at the homestead by one o'clock,
and in the meantime tho work off
digging the grave had begun. A
substantial luncheon, in keeping;
with the highly famed hospitality
of tho departed patriarch, refresh--ed
tho travelors. Thoro was tima,
whilo the funeral preparation-?
woro in progress, for the strangers?:
of the party to look about the-.,
